Amy Stein: Artist Lecture

Amy Stein: Artist Lecture
VCU Commons Theater
Amy Stein
What a wonderful lecture, listening to the excitement in Amy Stein’s voice as she went through her photos was very inspiring and something we all can strive for. I can imagine how much she has viewed her work, like any artist she was very familiar with her work but that didn’t distract form her profound enthusiasm in talking about each one. Like Stein said each photo from the ‘Domesticated’ series was referenced from a story told to her by a person from that small town. Each could is very interesting both visually and verbally with the story behind the image that she told. In some instances if made the image more interesting knowing the little background story, knowing what animals were taxidermy and what animals were alive. I found Amy Stein to be the most intriguing artist lecture I’ve attended thus far.
